But before I was able to move properly I was in some kind of transitional state, where I was able to move indefinitely after being spawned, but, as I grew, I became bigger and had to stop more and more often. I actually really liked that mechanic - it adds depth and believability to the gameplay. At first you are agile and able to scavenge and collect clouds, and later you become big enough to hunt most other species, but you are not that fast anymore.

You might have noticed this becomes worse the closer you get to reproducing. There appears to be an issue where ATP consumption is increased when growing, but ATP production is not. You can read more about it here. There will probably have to be a bit of rebalancing after this is fixed.

That’s how they did it: For some reason a single prokaryote could push me with a reasonable speed (thanks to the water physics, I suppose) and that counted as moving, so I couldn’t replenish my atp and died of starvation several times.

Yes, I noted this as well in my feedback post, hopefully it’s also fixed in the next version.
